I’m going to tell you a story about my 3 now 4yr olds first girlfriend.

This story starts one evening at the dinner table. I have 3 boys. The oldest who is now 6 has not found love yet. He has twin brothers. They were 3 when this first started and are now 4.All confessions are recorded on video for my enjoyment. FOREVER!It began one evening when me and the boys were at the table eating dinner discussing butts and poop. Suddenly my son Lee (his name for this discussion to protect the innocent) declared that a girl at his school was his favorite because she ran like such. My son Lee put out his fingers and displayed a strangely slow pace with his pointer and middle finger. He was demonstrating how slow this girl (May to protect the innocent) was compared to his running. He then proclaimed he runs like this: he added his ring finger and did the same thing at a faster pace.Realizing the importance of this discovery I had him re explain his findings on video. I whipped out my cell phone and recorded that “May runs like this”: 2 finger example, while “i run like this” 4 fingers slightly faster.Me to Lee: is that why you like her?Lee: Yes.A few months later my oldest’s hair is long and it’s messed up. I stick it up with my fingers and tell him “all the ladies are going to love you now”. He gets embarrassed and laughs.Lee says “May would like it”Now I’m wondering what my 3yr old would say next.Me: what would May like?Lee: May would think our hair is funny and she’d laugh.Me: May would think whose hair would be funny?Lee: May would laugh at me and Jays (his name changed to also protect his twin brothers identity) hair. She’s our girlfriend.Me: Jay!?Jay: “She’s not my girlfriend”. Then he climbed on me and screamed some superhero shit and hit my head.It was official. My son has his first girlfriend.I never made an issue of it but I’d ask him randomly how May was doing. “She’s fine.”Last night I was dealt some devastating news. It was trick or treat night at daycare and the twins were running around. They showed up to check in with me with a girl their age dressed as a cupcake. “Hey Lee is that May?!”Lee: NoMe: What?!?! Hi May!May: HiMe: She’s totally May, Lee!Lee: Shes not May(I took a picture. It’s clearly fucking May in her cupcake costume)Me: Why would you do that. She’s your friend. You don’t do that to friends.rewind sound to a flashbackOne morning I’m dropping the boys off to daycare. There is a little white haired blond girl in their class. I ask “Is that May?” Lee says “That’s not May. She’s in another class. That’s June”.He was right. It was June from his class.I can’t tell kids apart. They all look roughly the same sometimes.fast forward sound back to presentMe: Who is that then Lee?Lee: I don’t know.Me: are you still friends with May?Lee: No. I’m not friends with her anymore.Me: Then who is that? (I’m pointing to cupcake girl)Lee: I don’t know. June.May: I’m May!Lee: WHAT!?!There is your story. Before May left I had my son go tell her goodbye. He now says they aren’t friends. Because he’s 4 and they aren’t in the same fucking class people! That’s the rules!!I just wanted to share the end of an innocent marriage. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/344TjCk
